Ideas are, no question, the cheap part. I have SPREADSHEETS of ideas, and if I keep up my current production rate, which is already unrealistically high, I will die before I finish using them all. EXECUTION is the important part.

Today’s lol moment. Certainly can’t cook without them

Crows collect baubles & shiny things as signs of gratitude. "I see the beauty of the world. I arrange it just so." Been a year of wonders & heroes; people have held space for me, lifted me, laughed with me, & shone the kinds of love that only come from beautiful souls. Moments carefully placed.

Going into 2026, a reminder for everyone who's fallen off the creative wagon, game dev, writing, art, music, whatever, no matter how long:

That song I keep sharing, "No Kings," is by Jesse Welles, the Dylan/Baez of this era (which is likely why Joan sings with him on it). I just bought one of his albums, "Pilgrim," on @bandcamp.com & went back in to buy it again for my nephew—& saw this ⬇️ Buy his music, feed kids. Merry Christmas ❤️

Dear Santa: All I want for Christmas is a Snowy Owl irruption...🦉🪶

@thesicktimes.org is one of the only newsrooms dedicated to widescale coverage of #LongCOVID. They need our support in their end of year fundraiser. Through their support, I published two major stories this year. 1/🧵 bsky.app/profile/thes...

"The Lion in Winter" is the best Christmas movie.

I see there’s a post about microplastics going around with a photo of drinking straws, so here is my semi-regular reminder that the 3 biggest sources of microplastics are tires (45%), synthetic clothing particles (35%) and paint (~10%). Lay article attached:

I feel like there isn’t a table big enough for Jesus to flip when I see stuff like this.

Parisot (the Director) tells a story about how Tim Allen just started crying after a scene one day "I don't like these feelings i'm having." Says Tim. "I'm going back to my trailor" and walks off. There's silence for a second. "Oh my god." Says Rickman. "I think Tim just experienced acting."

I left my heart in Seattle Franerisco

Over the summer, I discovered my most recent hyperfixation: The #americanwoodcock, or timberdoodle! I wanted a plush toy of one, but couldn’t find one, so I just… taught myself to needle felt and made one. Meet Tim B. Doodle! #needlefelting #fiberart #birdart

If ICE gets to decide against all evidence that your documentation is fake, just because they say so, then there is no law. For anyone, but especially for Black and brown people the Supreme Court has declared are warrantless arrest targets.

Me, realizing AOC is old enough to run for president

YOU DUMB FUCKS. THIS IS ME. I have a scooter. I can walk. I can't, however, walk through 80 miles of airport. I can walk onto an airplane or through hallways. I can't walk the .5 mile to the convention center. People, get smarter, it's embarrassing at this point.

Tuxedo cat for the win!

Hello Thriends! I hate asking for things On Here, but here goes. With the ICE raids and spike in immigration based evictions in Illinois, the simple truth is that I can't keep up with the demand for my services. There are way more people who need a name-your-own-price lawyer than there are Sheryls.

Parts of U.S. 2, an important road cutting across Washington’s Cascade mountains, will likely remain closed for months due to flood and slide damage, Gov. Bob Ferguson and the state’s top transportation official said Tuesday.

Note how GenAI proponents have pivoted from "it'll make entire movies!" to "it helps in some aspects of the early concept phase." They've moved the goalposts to the 25 yard lines and they're still whiffing their kicks.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

Come senators, congressmen Please heed the call Don’t stand in the doorway Don’t block up the hall For he that gets hurt Will be he who has stalled There’s a battle outside and it is ragin’ It’ll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls For the times they are a-changin’

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous this is worth sharing and educating people about

Welcome K47! The Center for Whale Research announced the official designation for the new K-Pod calf today. Here’s a short video clip of Ks exiting Puget Sound yesterday, filmed by Jason Shields. Can you spot the tiny dorsal fin of the calf? 😍 It surfaces three times in this clip! #whalesky #srkw

The Sick Times does extremely important work reporting on studies and news relevant to the #ME/CFS #pwME and #LongCovid communities. I have become a monthly supporter, and encourage you to do the same if you can.

Fox News’ Chief National Security Correspondent. We are about to go to war for oil, while citing a lie as justification. Again.

Look, for real, if you have a problem with trans folks, you can unfollow or block me right now. (And if you think this is virtue signalling, you can go too, although I'm immune to all that ad hominem shit) These are our brothers and sisters, for fuck's sake.

#artadventcalendar day 12 The pileated woodpecker is here often. Lots of dead wood around for them, but it’s always exciting!

Every Southern Resident killer whale calf is a gift, but due to the pod's small size and low reproductive rate, K-Pod calves hit differently. We were honored to have the chance to glimpse this newest little one in person today as the orcas were leaving Puget Sound. #whalesky #salishsea
